Apple releases iOS 4.3 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV

Why do apple fix things that arent broken. My choo choo no longer choo choo's it choo's only. It's a definate backward step shortening the text tones if people want short ones then let then choose a short one not force everyone to have a shortened one

SLOW SLOW SLOW!
4.3 on iPhone 4 is breaking my heart. Apps launch slowly. Transitions are chunky. I can watch the screen fill with different elements when launching the iPod or Clock apps.
I am NOT jail broken and everything is turned off: Spotlight, phone, wifi, etc.
I guess I will try 4.3 form new.. not updated.

I also seem to be seeing slightly improved performance on iPhone 4, in particular Angry Birds used to freeze for a fraction of a second every time I flung a bird (which I believe was from checking for achievement conditions as it would be an even longer freeze when I actually get an achievement) but now it's as smooth a butter

Rogers 3G went down last night so it wasn't my iPhone. But I do have a bug, after the update I'm only showing 1 bar of 3G. It's not moving. I really didn't want to do a restore but it's looking like I have no choice.

My first bad update experience: The headphones that came with my iPhone aren't recognized any longer and music won't play through them. Another thing is when no headphones are plugged in the ringer volume bars disapear

Something i'd not seen mentioned anywhere but is a huge bonus for me is that the spellchecker now appears clever enough to work out when you hit a letter instead of the space bar between 2 words. for example, I typed "are youvpaying for lunch" and it changed the "v" for the space I missed with my big sausage fingers! I'm pretty sure this didn't happen before and is a nice new feature. They should advertise it.

As great as the integrated environment is, why exactly does my mobiel provider want to nickel and dime me for using the Personal Hotspot feature? I have a plan with a fixed data allowance, why would it matter how I use it up? Personally I think it is fraudulent that Apple helps providers to milk clients for something that should be included the moment you subscribe to a data plan.

Here's an interesting bit that I noticed. I thought personal hotspot was limited to the iPhone 4? My 3GS is showing the option, and prompts me to call the carrier to activate the plan. Is this known and doesn't really work, or if I'm willing to pay through the nose, can I actually use it?

Anybody else having horrible network performance after the update? On my iphone4, both wifi and cel speeds are fine right after a reboot, but deteriorate to the point of uselessness within 10 minutes. (3/3 reboots)

For everyone who jailbreak your iPhone...if it's so great and you don't want to lose it,. Why are viewing a article about new features in OS 4.3,,sort of makes you guys look a lil pathetic because it's like you know you are missing something...

XCode 4 only $4.99 ... Developer fee each year only $99 ... and only comission to apple 30%! wait until 2012...
then commission will be 40% .. developer fee $199 ... and so on!
All Apple Developers are stupid!

Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh....... both my iPhone and iPad wont accept the update... during download, after a while a fault menssage on the Mac shows up saying failed to download as software corrupted blah blah. Everything clean and not jailbroken, all else up to date so can't see a problem. I've tried both devices several times and same error. Any ideas would be reaaaly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Are you F%#KING KIDDING ME?!?!? All this hype about 4.3 having mobile hotspot so you can set up a hotspot with your phone and they want to charge for it!!! WTF when iciest went to it, it made me call AT&T and the plans start at $45.00 for a 4GB plan and also would remove my unlimited data plan from my phone. What a waist of time even updating.

You guys gonna understand the download takes long due to the fact that everyone is trying to download the file at the sametime. I'll wait until later on tonight... I've have the GM version and there is one bug that Apple has to repair. If you go inside of Setting> Sounds>Ringtones. On the very top it's says " Buy More Ringtones" when I press on it. It does not do nothing at all.. Please fix this or take it off...

ROGERS Customers Read this!!
you have to call Rogers to get them to enable the personal hot spot feature, even if you're already on a plan that's 1GB+ that includes tethering - you still need to have them enable it.
I'm on now and the queue is LOOOOOOOOONG :(

Download only took me two minutes here. Servers are fast and responsive right now. Yes, I'm a jailbreaker. I want to keep my iPhone 4 jailbroken, but my iPad I don't care about. For me, jailbreaking my iPad isn't as valuable as having my iphone jailbroken. Running the update on the Apple TV as I write this. The iOS 4.3 update for my iPad went very smooth.

OK... Here's my question. Why no Verizon iPhone for the update??
Was this Apple's idea of Verizon's? if it was Apple's and they just need more time to get CDMA in sync with everyone else then that's OK. But I am praying this isn't a sign of Verizon's typical "we want to test the heck out of everything that runs on our network first so no update for you" mindset.
PLEASE PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE VERIZON's IDEA!!
